David Benavidez admits he's 'not ready right now' to face one champion: "I have a lot of respect for him"
David Benavidez has ruled out one fight in particular, despite Turki Alalshikh attempting to persuade him with a major opportunity.
The 29-year-old entered his first outing at 200lbs last month, becoming a three-weight world champion by dethroning Gilberto Ramirez for the WBO and WBA titles.
But while his emphatic sixth-round finish would suggest he is a natural cruiserweight, Benavidez clearly feels as though he could benefit from more experience at the weight.
As such, it is hardly surprising that he successfully lobbied the WBC to install him as the mandatory challenger at 200lbs, hoping to secure a three-belt unification match with fellow champion Noel Mikaelian.

Jai Opetaia Questions Delay In David Benavidez Unification Fight
Unbeaten Australian says a cruiserweight showdown with David Benavidez is easy to make from his side.
Jai Opetaia says he is still waiting for a fight with David Benavidez despite believing a cruiserweight unification bout would be straightforward to arrange. The unbeaten Australian insists there are no obstacles on his side as speculation continues over Benavidez’s next move.
Having captured the unified WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles, David Benavidez has no shortage of potential opponents. However, one of the division’s leading names believes the delay in making a major unification clash is not coming from his side.
Benavidez produced one of the standout performances of the year in May when he stopped Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez in six rounds to claim the WBA and WBO belts in his first fight at cruiserweight. The emphatic victory raised questions about whether ‘The Mexican Monster’ would return to light heavyweight in pursuit of Dmitry Bivol or remain at 200lbs.
